Script Details
Oscar: a grocer in the village of Flam, Norway. Nors
Samuel: Main character 12 year old boy. Brit
Aunt Eda: Norwegian aunt of Samuel. She is a former Olympic javelin thrower. Hairy chin. Nors
Fredrick: Oscar's son. Nors.
Oscar was a rather odd looking man. He was short, with a bald head and an impressive yellow moustache. He also wore a yellow bow-tie and yellow shirt, tucked tight over his round belly. He didn't return Aunt Eda's greeting. He just stood there, silent in his yellow clothes, as if he was just another cheese waiting to be picked.
'Oskar?' Aunt Eda enquired. She then began talking in Norwegian and pointing at different cheeses.
Oskar began slicing cheese, but didn't talk.
It was then that a boy appeared from the doorway at the far end of the shop. The boy was about Samuel's age, with white-blonde hair and green eyes magnified by thick, gold-rimmed glasses.
He came and sat on a stool behind his father, Oskar, and began playing with a calculator.
It must be the closest thing to fun round here, thought Samuel. Playing with a
calculator.
'Goddag,' the boy said to Samuel. His smile revealed a silver brace. 'Hello,' said Samuel.
'Fredrick!' Oskar clicked his fingers, and sent his son away, as if Samuel was infected with something dangerous.
To Samuel's surprise, the poor boy did exactly as he was told, disappearing from where he had come without question.
The other villagers in the shop were leaving, each one tutting or grumbling or throwing scornful looks as they passed Aunt Eda and the children. When the last villager had left, Oskar's face softened, like a chunk of cheese that had been left too near a fire. And, in a voice that sounded both friendly and cross all at once, he began to talk.
But what it was he said to her Samuel and Martha couldn't imagine, although the bulging eyes made it clear it was something quite serious.
Samuel wished he could speak Norwegian so he could understand properly. But if he had understood the conversation he might have wished it the other way round, as the words coming out of Oskar' s mouth would have made him think everyone round here was totally mad. Including Aunt Eda.
The conversation between Aunt Eda and Oskar (that Samuel and Martha couldn't understand)
AUNT EDA: What is the matter with everyone today, they seem so unfriendly?
OSKAR: Eda, it seems strange that you have to ask.
AUNT EDA: Well, I am asking.
OSKAR: The children! Who are they? What are you doing with them?
AUNT EDA: They are my sister's children. They have come from England. My sister and her husband died in a terrible accident and they have no-one else. No-one. They must come and live with me.
OSKAR: Near the forest?
AUNT EDA: Yes, near the forest.
OSKAR: Then you might as well kill them now. It would be kinder. Because you know if they go into the forest they won't ever come back.
AUNT EDA: They won't go into the forest. I will make it clear that they must never go
Ill.
OSKAR: (Shaking his head) As soon as they hear about all the creatures that live there _ the huldres and the pixies and the trolls and all the others - they will want to see them. You know what children are like.
AUNT EDA: No, I will make it very clear to them that they must not go near the trees. So long as they never go into the forest, they will be safe.
OSKAR: (Leaning over the counter) No, Eda, forgive me, but I fear you are wrong. You might be able to keep the children away from the forest, but can you keep the forest away.
